Print advertising isn't fighting digital for attention – it's getting the attention it deserves.
India's leading personnel export marketplace — matching licensed recruitment agencies with overseas employers for over 30 years.
50% Gulf-focused content.
Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, and Bahrain — the top choice for recruiters seeking engineers, technicians, and tradesmen.
This paper's readers are actively searching, not browsing. A job for the Gulf posted here reaches someone who's looking for exactly that — not a general feed.
Since 1993, the most sought-after print publication for licensed recruitment agencies and overseas employers recruiting from India.
Advertisements must include an official Recruitment Agent (RA) license number and POE approval. Before your paperwork reaches the editor's desk, Riyo checks your paperwork and prepares the layout according to editor specifications.
Over half of its content targets the GCC nations — Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, and Bahrain — the top option for recruiters seeking engineers, technicians, or tradesmen for the Gulf.

Gulf, Europe, Africa, SE Asia
It matches qualified recruiters who come from licensed recruitment agencies and international companies, seeking to recruit skilled professionals and technical staff from the Gulf, Europe, Africa, and Southeast Asia. Over half of its offers direct towards the countries in the Middle East and Gulf States and are a top choice for recruiters seeking to recruit engineers, technicians, and tradesmen in this area of the world (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, and Bahrain). It's not a browse-heavy product; its readers are searching. Wednesday's midweek traffic results give the best traffic bounce, and Saturday's traffic results give the best traffic bounce on the overall readership side of the product.
What Assignment Abroad Times is not:
No matrimonial section—although it also publishes obituaries and public notice ads, a general daily does a better job reaching the local community for these types of ads.
Decide the rate, draft the ad with compliance checks, and release it — all with one team.
Call or WhatsApp 9821984000 with your trades, country, and date. We quote you the official agency rates with all applicable discounts — combined edition format (Single, Double, Triple) discounts are automatically calculated based on your candidate catchment.
Send your rough text to info@riyoadvertising.com or WhatsApp. We format and design it. For overseas recruitment, we ensure your mandatory RA Licence Number and POE details format correctly to pass editorial review. You get a design proof before publication.
Pay by UPI, NEFT, card, or cheque. Receive instant confirmation and a reference number. Your ad prints on the Wednesday or Saturday edition, and a digital e-tearsheet lands in your inbox after publication for compliance records.

Assignment Abroad Times is India's leading weekly newspaper dedicated exclusively to overseas recruitment, linking licensed recruitment agencies with overseas employers and Indian professionals looking for jobs in the Gulf, Europe, Africa, and Southeast Asia.
Job title first two words, not buried in paragraph three
Agency or company name
RA Number — Recruitment Agent licence number and POE details, mandatory for overseas recruitment
Key qualifications and years of experience
Country and job location, be specific
Salary range and employment benefits (food, accommodation, ticket)
How to apply
Best Time of Year to Recruit
Post-New Year (Jan–Mar) for overseas project mobilizations and mid-year (Jul–Sep) for Gulf construction, oil & gas, and maintenance mobilizations.
Common mistakes that reduce response quality
Wednesday suits engineers and technicians; Saturday pulls the strongest overall response. Serious recruiters book both.
Emigration regulations require the RA number; missing documentation gets the ad rejected by the desk.
Overseas candidates expect salary transparency before applying.
Accommodation, food, visa, and transport details visibly lift response rates.
Multiple Wednesday and Saturday insertions produce far stronger cumulative response than a single run.
Only advertise for recruitment if you have an RA license number. Don't pretend to be claiming salary or benefits, gender (unless permitted by law) or age (unless there is a good reason for the employer to prefer them) preferences, or visa or "guaranteed job" claims. The editorial team does a check on all recruitment ads submitted before publication for compliance with Indian emigration regulations.
Assignment Abroad Times is a special-purpose overseas employment paper, not a family daily — there is no section here for matrimonial advertisements, and we do not sell them for this paper.
What we recommend instead
National and regional dailies (like Times of India) provide much higher reach for matrimonial ads. Call 9821984000, and we'll reserve your matrimonial ad in the correct national paper in the same call.
